The
"Great Recession" arising from the 2008-09 financial crash
has not really ended
despite government and media claims of recovery. That
crisis was just the beginning, the early warning signal of much more serious
economic conditions.

In contrast to the manipulated financial markets that will eventually change
dramatically to reflect reality, we have continued to bounce somewhat
sideways yet gradually downhill economically into what may be eventually be
thought of as "The Greater Depression".

A recession may
last a few quarters as the economy adjusts. This economic funk has
already gone
on for 8 years. That is far beyond a recession. It is a depression.
If you haven't realized it, the pitch about "recovery" and the
reported economic numbers are
falsehoods.

Quantitative
easing and near zero interest rate (ZIRP) kept the U.S. economy limping
along, but layoffs, store closings, jobs moving elsewhere and honestly corrected
statistics of economic activity are
revealing of worsening prospects. Now interest rates are rising which may
precipitate trouble.

The world economy is seriously distressed as shown by the Baltic Dry Index
of international shipping cargo, the Cass Freight Index of domestic shipping and other industrial statistics,
which have been indicating extremely low activities for months.

Many economists think Europe and the U.S. are in the process of falling into
a deep depression of unknown length, possibly many years. Even China, after
years of growth to become one of the top economies, has major challenges
now.

The
overwhelming debt, and the mortgage backed securities and speculative
derivatives that contributed in large part to the "Crash of 2008", remain as
one of the greatest financial problems ever, with little attention in the
press, and virtually no investigations by authorities. In fact, similar
conditions prevail and worse than before.

Some major
financial institutions continue holding highly leveraged contracts that
leave them very vulnerable to financial disaster. JP Morgan Chase showing
monstrous losses the last couple of years is just one tip of a large iceberg.

Quantitative Easing

The Federal
Reserve Board was running "Quantitative Easing III" for a
couple of years. It had been set at
$40 billion per month of the FED buying mortgage backed securities with the
fake money they have been allowed to create out of nothing for about 100
years. They were simultaneously conducting what some call "QE IV" or "Quantitative Easing to
Infinity", with the FED also buying $45 billion per month in U.S. bonds
themselves.

$85 billion per
month is over $1 trillion per year, so at least another couple trillion
dollars was
added to the "national debt" with QE. This spending was eventually "tapered", with
each program reduced a few billion at a time, supposedly to nearly nothing.
In actuality, the FED has continued to be the buyer of last resort for U.S.
debt.

Industry
experts insist the un-audited FED
is still quietly pumping out funny money and buying U.S. Treasury paper at
massive levels, as well as trading in stocks, commodities and mortgages. Many
watchers expect the FED to publicly announce more money creation in some form
before long.

The
accumulation of Treasury Bonds by our central bank is unprecedented. The FED
has been funding public debt that should not even be, as that is not the way
our government was supposed to finance itself according to the Constitution.
Further, they do this using fake
money created out of nothing. Then they charge interest on it!

The FED has
garnered into the trillions of dollars of assets in U.S. bonds, sub-prime
mortgages and real estate, stocks from propping up the market, as well as
gold, silver and other assets. These include many "toxic" derivative
contracts from the ongoing bailout of risk threatened banks.

The ridiculous
"national debt" will before long be publicly posted as in the 20 trillions
of dollars. The interest on that for the taxpayers to pay is so substantial
that it seems the U.S. government might never be in a position to reduce the
principal. A halt to increasing it is not even considered by our spendthrift
representatives!

The FED's
actions have perpetuated the flood of declining value dollars around the world.
For years this spreading of dollars worldwide has delayed painful
inflation in the U.S. Now the tide is changing as other nations are
starting to bypass the dollar in international trade.

Meanwhile,
Japan increased its similar money production, so the spotlighted flow of
"Quantitative Easing" simply moved over to a new spigot. Central banks
continue to act to keep bubbles from crashing the world economy until the controllers are
ready for that.

The dollar is
being rejected for use in some international business interchanges, and a
currency devaluation, or possibly a total dollar collapse, may be coming soon
for the
United States, seemingly preceded or accompanied by several European nations.

The bond rating
of the United States has been reduced twice in recent years, as the
government struggles every year to fund its bills. Further, Moody's rating
service has downgraded 15 major global banking institutions, including JP
Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Citibank, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley.

Could this be
the grand finale of banker scams? It would seem the international cartel of
major multi-national corporations and banks, the "Transnational
Interlocking Corporate Kingdom",
is wrapping up their century of plundering the United States and its people
with nearly full financial ownership of the government, and sharing owner
control of half or more of the property in the U.S. with their Chinese
lender buddies.

That probably will eventually include your property. If you think you
own any "real estate", realize that you are only a tenant. You pay for the privilege to
occupy it, like a football stadium seat license, and then pay the tax (rent)
to the real "real" owners, the corporate state conglomerate.

Markets

Significant international currency and banking changes are said to be in progress that may
have a really dramatic impact in multiple markets.

Numerous financial
watchdogs agree that precious metals prices, especially silver, have been
manipulated by major players using paper contracts and currency trading.
These prices have been artificially held down as China and some other nations,
central banks and
wealthy elite have accumulated large amounts of these tangible assets at bargain prices.

With the
ongoing economic uncertainty, the large demand for real touchable silver and gold
has made them scarce. Yet the prices have remained relatively low, mostly due to
manipulators placing phony low-bid paper orders that expire unfulfilled.

The
after effects of the Brexit vote in Britain have included rises in gold and silver
pricing.
Some experts look for more dramatic rises in the precious metals eventually,
especially in relation to the dollar as it continues losing world reserve
status.

Those who are
investing or
playing games of risk in the various financial markets should be very cautious.
Virtually all markets are rigged, and the elite profit repeatedly from
insider knowledge at the expense of those who think the markets are real.

A number of
major corporations that have made a profit in recent years have bought back their stock
rather than
investing in new or better production. The number of people out of work or working
less than enough to earn a living, is far greater than the doctored,
government-reported unemployment statistics. Many of these have gone deeper
into debt, while others have gone homeless.

The bond market
is on very shaky ground, with a possible collapse looming, especially if interest rates
are
nudged further upward. As bonds are abandoned, there may be a temporary strengthening
of good quality stocks. However many major investors have reduced or cleared
their participation in the stock market.

The
breakthroughs to new highs in the Dow Jones stock market average in the last
couple years reflect a major bubble in the market that
was being propped up by FED quantitative
easing. Although some analysts thought this was the start of a new bull market,
others think the market will drop severely again before long. It is already showing
signs of fragility.

The Chinese
stock market lost almost 40% of its value in just a couple of
months not long ago. Then they devalued their currency on successive days. Even so, their
stocks resumed the decline. The Chinese economy has been the growth engine of the world for the
last few years. As it subsides along with the European financial crisis and the
overextension of debt and dollar creation by the U.S. and the Federal
Reserve, we could be talking about the "Greater Depression" for years to come.

Troubles

Experts in
economic and societal trends anticipate much worse major economic challenges
and social changes in the next few years. Some warn of an impending total
financial collapse this year, with a few voices saying it is already in progress.

The financial
crisis in Europe has been flirting with massive collapse there, especially in
Greece. Some economic analysts think that "Brexit", the British voting to
leave the European Union, may contribute to a world economic catastrophe.

If that were to happen, it would
probably bring the U.S. down to ruin as well. If Western economies
fail, the rest of the world would also suffer considerably. Most independent
economists in the know believe a crash is inevitable that may effect most of
the world.

The substantial surprise
"haircut" tax on all bank accounts in Cyprus mandated by the
European Union and the international bankers a few years ago, is thought to have been a prelude to a
similar process in Europe and the United States, a "beta test".

In fact, the
International Monetary Fund has recommended this type of sudden bank account
tax on the "wealthy" (meaning non-insider upper middle class) for member
nations having financial challenges. That action would probably trigger a
cash panic, possibly a "run on the banks". A bank holiday, a "bail-in" of bank accounts and retirement programs, a limit on
withdrawals of what funds are left and/or an elimination of cash might be
imposed.

Depositing
money in a bank turns over ownership control of the funds to the bank. Do
you trust the bankers to allow you full access to the deposited funds as
economic conditions deteriorate?

If you were to try taking out more than
$10,000 in cash, especially in smaller increments over several days, you might be
surprised at the trouble you would have. You could be arrested and imprisoned for
"financial structuring".

Financial
transactions are recorded and accessible to authorities, so there is no point in
trying to hide major movement of funds.

Wise financial
advisors suggest judicious gradual transfer of institutionally held paper or digital assets
in reasonable amounts to personally
held substantial assets as much as possible.

Some think the
FED may be getting out of the currency game if the Treasury begins issuing
its own notes, possibly in conjunction with a serious devaluation of the dollar and a
global reformation of currency valuations and exchanges. (See the section
further below on currency.)

Much of the
manufacturing work that has gone to cheap labor markets in other nations is
no longer available to U.S. workers. These old
factory jobs are not likely to come back. Lower cost production in other
parts of the world is better for the bottom line of giant corporations.

Detroit, which
used to be one of the most prosperous cities in the world, got laid off and
became a desolate wasteland of blight.

Many of the
U.S. jobs created during this recession have been governmental jobs.
However, there is a limit on how many the government can hire. Now government workers are being laid off as
well. Local, regional and state governments face financial crises as much as
the national government.

With the number
of people that are out of work in the U.S., or working only part-time, the layoffs now underway by
strapped businesses and governments, and the concerns of many about
their financial future, people are not buying much beyond necessities. As a
result, under-employment continues to be substantial. Even large retailers
are cutting hours, laying off workers and closing stores.

Many companies
have reduced employees to part time status to avoid having to provide insurance
under the "Affordable Health Care Act". Then the worker is
responsible to obtain coverage, but has less income to do so. Raising the
minimum wage would contribute to both inflation and job losses, making the
situation much worse.

The fall in the
price of oil was one sign of a deflationary trend, although other prices
have been rising at the same time. Now oil and gasoline prices have risen
somewhat again, which makes it harder for lower income folks to get by.

Meanwhile
welfare, food assistance and homelessness numbers continue to be very high. If the
presently stronger dollar loses value, the prices of imports
and oil products would increase again. Enjoy filling your tank at the gas
station while you can.

Are there any
significant signs of real economic growth? The situation is much worse than
the manipulated and understated government figures and pronouncements try to
suggest.

If you live in
the United States, consider seeking out products for purchase that are made here. They are usually
well-made and often less expensive than imports.

I have always
urged people to develop their own
home business as best they are able, and to
become
self reliant in every way possible.

China
Overtaking U.S.

There are
speculations that after the U.S. population suffers for an unknown period as
a devastated, depopulated and economically deprived society, that the Chinese interests,
who are accumulating a huge share of U.S. assets, will begin
hiring U.S. workers at low wages for their new sweat shops here in the U.S. to make the goods that
their expanding middle class will consume.

We need
creative entrepreneurship and new industries to emerge soon. China, one of
the largest foreign holders of U.S. debt, is flirting with becoming the world's
new greatest
economic power. Their workforce of what have been essentially controlled slaves,
has been cranking out almost any product at relatively lower cost than other
industrial nations, but that is changing.

China is the
second
major holder of U.S. debt and dollars after the FED. For several years they have been
unloading dollars by purchasing assets in the U.S., in South America and elsewhere, particularly real estate
and businesses here. It has been reported that more than half to 60% of the real estate
value in Manhattan is owned by Chinese government companies.

Although China
has had a stock market crash, and has other financial bubbles that may burst, especially in real
estate and banking, they have accumulated and hold a huge portion of the
world's gold. It is anticipated they will be making some major adjustments
in their currency. It is becoming a part of the International Monetary
Fund's basket of currencies that serves a role as world reserve for
international trade, especially as the dollar's status declines.

A couple years
ago the oil price showed the most dramatic price fall in memory. At the same
time the dollar gained strength, while gold and silver prices were
suppressed. These examples of deflation are signs of the unannounced depression that
continues despite the false reports of a recovery.

Some think the
high volume, low cost oil and natural gas producers, Saudi Arabia and some
other Persian Gulf states, were behind the lower pricing to
squeeze out higher cost competitors, such as Russia, and the "fracking"
industry in the U.S.

Controversial,
hydraulic fracturing harvests shale oil and gas by shooting a toxic brew of
chemicals and sand to crack deep rock formations under pressure, releasing
trapped oil and gas. This is now being done horizontally, possibly
threatening underground water resources in a much wider area.

Low oil prices
also make it harder for alternative technologies to compete on cost, such
as electric cars and solar electric that require a substantial outlay to
engage.

According to
Lindsey Williams, a known source for insider information about "Big Oil"
and the elite powers that be, they still intend to move the price of oil up
to $100 or 150 per barrel again. (That may be more about the dollar value
going down with inflation.)

The cabal has apparently delayed that strategy for a
couple years, but the insiders have indicated to Rev. Williams that the economic collapse is
now imminent.

(NOTE: I have
met
Lindsey Williams personally. Back in the 90's, a business associate of mine and
I collaborated with Williams on a book. Some do not like his
preachy delayed-payoff style of speaking, but he has transmitted a lot of important
warnings from insiders over the
last 30 years or so, with fair accuracy.

Based on the
common practice of the hidden controllers disseminating intentionally
misleading narratives, some of what they shared with Rev. Williams could be disinformation
to confuse or distract. (More about Lindsey Williams)

It appears the
price of oil bottomed a while ago, as it has climbed back up somewhat. It would
likely skyrocket, in U.S. dollar terms, as events that the controllers
influence unfold, such as a devaluation of the U.S. dollar, or a shortage of
supply due to a worsening
of the crisis in the Middle East, a folding of the EU or World War III.

Oil prices have
been volatile over the years. Not long before the "Arab Spring" political
disturbances in the Mid East a few years ago, the price of oil had previously fallen back to about
$50 per barrel briefly.

The Libyan civil war and the fighting in Iraq and
Syria, combined with the actions of speculators in oil contracts, pushed oil
pricing to $100+ per barrel, where it had also been before.

Since oil is a
manipulated market like most of them, big time players in oil poise
themselves for multiple rounds of vast profits as the price rises and falls
and rises again, all as planned and orchestrated. Those in the know make
mega money with any change, down or up.

How did the
price of gasoline in the $3 to $4 per gallon range affect you and your
neighbors? What if it were to reach $5 or $7 or $10 or more per gallon in the next
price rise cycle? It already costs that much in many nations.

Oil is not only
used for fuel and energy, it is the source of petrochemicals, which are used
in thousands of applications from plastics to agriculture, as well as in
pharmaceutical medicines. All of those products would be more expensive if
oil prices rise further. So would just about everything else.

There had been
a glut in the oil market, partly generated by OPEC to squeeze competition. OPEC
then
formed a strategy with Russia, the world oil output leader, to cut back on
production. Before long they may raise the price more, which could have an
inflationary role in a depressed economy.

When the
Federal Reserve Board completed the second round of "quantitative easing"
("QE2") funds in 2011, they had created another trillion dollars in funny
money for buying U.S. Bonds as "buyer of last resort". This has
substantially increased the national debt, and has fueled inflation, which is
much higher than the altered figures put out by the government (see next
section below).

For the last
few years, they were operating QE3 and QE4, as quantitative easing was set to be ongoing indefinitely.
So a couple more trillion dollars was pumped into the world economy, with a
further increase in the national debt. The FED has
now supposedly "tapered" this easing, but could jack it up again whenever the
banking establishment chooses. They may still be quietly buying treasuries.
The FED is privately owned and they do not report all of their actions.

Quantitative
Easing has created amazing amounts of funny money for banks and other
institutions to buy sub-prime mortgages, mortgage backed securities
and U.S. Treasury debt. This along with the European bailouts has been inflationary,
continuing the trend of the 20th Century that saw the dollar lose more than
90% of its value. The inflation in the U.S. would have been much worse if
the bulk of these created dollars were not exported in the international
banker game.

Deflationary
trends in commodities, probably manipulated for multiple reasons, have
offset the inflation numbers. Hopefully the consumer has saved enough on
lower fuel prices to make up for higher food prices.

The FED is
currently the largest holder of U.S. debt, with China and Japan holding most
of the rest. These and other nations no longer want to lend to the U.S., as they
anticipate losses from either a devaluation of the dollar, or a financial
collapse of the United States. The ongoing funding of
government debt by the central bank creating play money out of nothing has
been horrendous economic policy.

World Reserve
and
"Petro Dollar"

The U.S. dollar
has been the world's "reserve currency" since the Breton Woods conference
near the end of World War II. The U.S. gave financial assistance for the
recovery of many other nations depleted by war, including Britain whose
pound sterling was the previous reserve. For seventy
years the dollar has been the benchmark currency for international trade.

In
fact, the dollar had been exclusively used for Persian Gulf oil sales since the early
1970's, when Secretary of State Henry Kissinger traded guaranteed security
enforced by the U.S. military for "petro-dollar" status with key OPEC
members, particularly Saudi Arabia.

This status is
now being undermined as the "BRICS", Brazil, Russia, India, China,
South Africa, major
trading nations, some with oil reserves outside of the Persian Gulf, have made agreements to
exchange their own currencies in their oil deals and other business. Dozens
of other nations are joining in to do business with the BRICS system, which
also includes an international bank.

Further, there are plans under
consideration by even the Gulf Arab states to change to a basket of
currencies in the trading of oil, or another form of international payments
that does NOT exclusively use the dollar.

Abandonment of The Dollar

Nations holding
astounding amounts of U.S. dollars and treasury obligations, such as China,
are reluctant to
accept more dollars or U.S. debt, and they are unloading their holdings.

China and Japan
concluded an agreement not long ago to use their own currencies instead of
the dollar in trading various goods between themselves. China and
Russia may accelerate their disengagement from the dollar to the point of dumping
their U.S. bonds and dollars on the market as a financial weapon to crash
the dollar.

Meanwhile, the
demand of the British people to leave the European Union drove both the
British Pound and the Euro down against the dollar, temporarily
strengthening it.

The current
saber rattling and sanctions between the leaders of the U.S. and Russia over
Syria and Ukraine, may both serve as a cover for and
lead to a dollar collapse very soon.

China's economic and military
coordination with Russia, and irritations with the U.S. in the South China
Sea islands and Syria, suggest that China has lined up with Russia as
alliances are developing for a possible world war.

It has been
proposed that a new world currency replace the dollar as the primary
currency of international trade, perhaps one backed by the Chinese yuan and
a few other strong currencies, or using the "Special Drawing
Rights (SDR)" accounts
through the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Bank for International Settlements
(BIS).

(The BIS, the IMF and the World Bank are the key institutions of the
global banking establishment and its owners, dominated by western bankers. These agencies deal financially
with the various nation's central banks, such as the Federal Reserve Bank
["the FED"] in the U.S. They exert influence or control over these central banks,
and thereby the governments through financial power.)

Going Down

Standard and
Poor, one of the primary bond rating services, downgraded U.S. bonds a
couple years ago from their longtime AAA status to AA. Then another rating
agency lowered the U.S. bonds to a much lower rating. On the other hand, for
some reason the rating was recently bumped up for no apparent good reason.

American
tourists are finding that many vendors in other countries will not accept
dollars anymore.

The dollar is
dying internationally. Even though it is still relatively strong against
most other currencies, it is being abandoned as a medium of trade in many
international transactions.

Both the Euro
and the dollar could collapse completely before long. This may occur at
any time. The Japanese Yen is not in much better shape.

On the other
hand, the Chinese yuan may recover sooner even though it was recently
devalued as Chinese exports and stock market values declined.

The U.S. had wanted
a
stronger
yuan to ease
the trade imbalance with China. Subsequently, demand for goods from China
has fallen off in the U.S. with the hidden deep recesssion ("deepression"),
so China is having economic problems too.

However, China appears to have bigger ideas
for their renminbi ("legal tender" currency) known as the yuan. They
have
accumulated vast amounts of gold, possibly with the intention of
establishing their yuan as the new world reserve currency of choice with
gold backing.

Asset Backed Currency

There is talk of at least the currencies used in international trade, and
perhaps all currencies, being required to have backing by assets similar to
the old gold standard of the dollar. Supporting assets could include, gold and other
minerals, oil, agricultural or industrial production, etc.

Some believe that as fiat currencies fail (backed only by faith in the issuing
government), there has to be a return to asset backed currencies tied to
commodities. The international financial
interests own the bulk of these commodities, however, so they would still be
in control.

Several
nations are expected by analysts to significantly reset their currencies.
For example, the
revaluation of Iraq's currency has been anticipated for several years, since the dinar
was artificially set at a pittance in 2003 during the international boycott of
Iraq and the war there.
If the Iraqi dinar is revalued, it might be the most significant of
these currency changes.

That possibility and how it would be done is
controversial and debated widely on blogs by people of varying degrees
of credibility. Although many watchers think this will not occur for several
years, many others are looking for it this year, and quite a few of these think it will
be soon.

It is
believed that the FED, the U.S. Treasury and the International Monetary Fund are assuming that a dramatic
currency revaluation or change will help stabilize the dollar and the Euro,
as well as other currencies and financially troubled nations. Other
currencies being watched for possible value increase include the Vietnamese
Dong and the Iranian Riyal.

There is also talk of the U.S. issuing a new U.S. treasury currency backed by
assets. If it is backed by gold and/or oil, those assets are primarily
controlled by the transnational financial powers and can be used to leverage
financial manipulation as well as fiat currency.

Some think we will be going directly to a world currency based on
the IMF's "Special Drawing Rights" (SDR's).
That would likely be the prelude to a global government through the United
Nations, which is the ultimate goal of the corporate state tyrants who run
that institution and most national governments as well.

Global Banking

The IMF, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), the International Bank of Disputes, the Import-Export Bank and the World
Bank are the financial institutions that have controlled the international banking system,
including loans and trade exchanges, for most of the last century. The
corrupt World Bank has bound many of these countries with loans and serious
debt.

The intent has been to prepare the world for a unified international
financial system with one currency as a giant step to global governance.

There
was until recently an impasse at the IMF in regard to making big changes. The
United States held veto power over any decision by way of controlling 17% of
the IMF voting power. 85% of the vote was required to make a change. Either
the U.S. government did not want the dollar to be cast aside, or it was using
its leverage for some other purpose. The required vote to make changes was
reduced to 70% recently, so now no one member can block decisions.

Some think the
newer financial compact, the BRICS nations, could just leave the IMF and BIS, as they
have started their
own international banking authority, currency and settlement account system.
It is likely they will continue as members of the old institutions, while
developing their new ones. Similarly, the IMF will be involved with the
BRICS bank.

In any case, the dollar and the U.S.
may be left on the sidelines, and our economy
relegated to third world status.

Be on the watch
for a major change in the structure of international economics soon.
Meanwhile, it is considered wise to transfer any liquid assets not needed
for current expenditures into substantial goods outside of paper and
accounts valued in
dollars.

With the
combination of the U.S. dollar now losing its status as the world reserve
currency, the FED pouring United States debt obligations like play money into the global economy for years, high
oil prices not long ago, and probably coming again before long, and
especially with rising food prices, inflation has already taken
a large toll in the U.S.

NOTE: A few
years ago
a price check at a local northern Ohio grocery chain found
green peppers selling for $1.99 EACH! These were not organically grown ones.
Commercial leaf lettuce was $2.99 per pound. These items are usually transported
great distances in the winter, and poor weather conditions can cause
shortages.

Another time,
a box of organic cereal was marked at $6.29 that previously had cost about
$3.00 at the same supermarket.

These price spikes have occurred in recent years. Conditions are developing that could
again bring budget-busting food prices. A disruption in the delivery system
would rapidly leave supermarkets with bare shelves and coolers.

There has been a
long term major drought and unpublicized amounts of radiation accumulating on the west coast. The
nation must realize that California is not likely able to continue providing the bulk of our
vegetable and fruit supplies.

Demand for food
has exploded in China in recent years as prosperity has increased. People
are eating more meats, corn, wheat
and soybeans. Meanwhile, U.S. farmers are reeling from the financial
pressures from drought, storms, floods, entrapment in high cost chemical and GMO systems, cost of supplies and foreclosures.

The figures
used by the government and the FED for inflation are not the same
calculations as were used in past decades. The cost of living formula has been strangely adjusted
to exclude gasoline and food, so
that the stated inflation rate is much less than reality. Real inflation, which
includes fuel and food in the mix, is now considered to have been 8% to 10% or more per year
by wary analysts. (See www.ShadowStats.com)

The prices of
energy, and anything delivered by truck, plane or boat, and anything sold by
a business that has utilities or transportation expenses, are dependent on
the price of oil.

With lower oil
prices we have gotten some relief for a while. If that lingers at a low
level, and there is an expanding deflationary trend, it could be ruinous for
many as the economy declines with more companies closing, more layoffs and
more mortgages becoming unsustainable as real estate values decline again.

If and when the dollar falls and oil prices rise again, other prices will go
WAY UP! Is your income
going to go up similarly? That is not likely for most people. If you have an income
now, will it even continue?

The
international bankers have successfully perpetrated their long term strategy
to control governments and populations around the world with debt.

Convincing
politicians, business owners and householders alike that it makes sense to
borrow the funds to acquire what is desired ahead of the ability to pay for
it, has created a world of debt slaves.

The bankers
have arranged to create these play money funds out of nothing but the
confidence of the borrowers. We have been
duped into thinking that the funny money was real because we got to purchase
real assets with it.

However, now
that the financial plug is being pulled and we cannot generate enough funds
to pay for either the loans or the interest, as well as necessities like food and
utilities, and now that a growing number of anchor assets like real estate are not worth as
much as when we got the loans, our economy is in deep debt trouble.

Many state
governors and municipal officials in the United States are saying that "the
day of reckoning is here" regarding their ability to meet their obligations.
46 states are deep in debt and facing huge budget shortfalls. Governments
are cutting projects and jobs, trying to reduce the benefits of public
employees, and taking steps to get more revenue from their citizens.

A few
governments have already declared bankruptcy. Some of them are not even
paying their bills!

Add to the debt
bubble the
additional game of the derivatives market, in which even the big banking
institutions are exposed to trillions of dollars of obligations with little
or no security, and it is clear that we are on the verge of a financial crash.

Derivatives are
speculative pseudo-securities used to hedge financial positions. They have
turned Wall Street and London into giant gambling casinos with the world
economy at stake. For examples, derivatives were involved in the AIG crisis,
the Lehman Brothers failure,
the 2008 crash and subsequent bailouts, and the MF Global collapse.

When one or
more of the dollar, debt or derivatives bubbles bursting fully hits, banks
may close down for a while, governments at every level may claim to be
beyond bankrupt and unable to provide the normally expected payments, services, and
companies may shut their doors. Even federal government payouts could be
suspended.

California has
already released thousands of prisoners early in addition to cutting state
jobs. Teachers and other public union members in many states are rallying to
preserve their collective bargaining power. They are starting to realize
that the cuts that are coming are likely to be MAJOR. (How many Californians
know about "Calexit" and the meetings of officials
and a diverse group of activists to plan California's exit from the United
States?)

A whole lot of
people have gradually come to the end of their unemployment compensation.
Other government support programs are being cut as well. This is taking another big bite out of the purchasing power of the populace.
Less to spend - less sales of goods - less work - less jobs - less income - and so forth.

Many people
are starting to realize that things are getting worse rather than better.
The repeated volatility in the stock market between new highs and terrible
tumbles in the last several years, tells us that the
money managers have figured out that the real long term outlook for stocks is POOR. Another
major drop is likely to come before long. Meanwhile, insiders are
harvesting profits on changes up and down.

Pension
programs, both private and public, are vastly under-funded with many in deep doo-doo.
Now there are secret government discussions of taxing or fully confiscating various retirement
funds, including 401K's and IRA's.

Retirement
assets
took a huge hit in the crash of 2008, then eventually recovered somewhat. With
subsequent downturns, some "retirement" funds were harmed again
depending on the exposure, but a much
worse loss is almost certainly coming.

The artificially low interest rates have sustained high bond prices for
governments and banks to maintain their reserve requirements and pad their
balance sheets. As inflation and low yield force interest rates higher, bond
prices decline.

The solvency crisis will soon be exposed dramatically. With the FED publicly
claiming to have wound down the purchase of U.S. Treasury debt, who will buy
it? The FED had been pretty much the only one doing so lately. The paper
markets, especially bonds, derivatives, and certain options contracts, are
bound to fall at some point. Many stocks will suffer as well, especially so
with a lot of
banks.

Meanwhile,
trillions of dollars are missing from local, state and government budgets.
Funds have been secretly siphoned into undisclosed off-budget projects,
including the secret space program, advanced technologies and underground
cities. In the process, vast profits have accrued to private contractors
involved, while governments complain about lack of funds.

What if
welfare, food assistance and Social Security payments were reduced or
curtailed?

What are people already retired
that take multiple financial hits going to do? What about the people
who depend on government payment programs to pay for food, rent and
utilities? Where are
they going to get enough income to meet their needs if government cannot pay
out and savings are wiped out? The Social Security Administration and other
government support bureaucracies are already seeking ways to reduce payouts.

Those whose
assets are in dollar based paper forms may suffer tremendous
financial losses
so rapidly that they would be unable to act in time to prevent it once a
financial collapse or dollar devaluation hits. Banks may be closed and withdrawals from accounts
restricted or frozen. Bonds, stocks and mutual funds may drop so fast that
even acting rapidly to sell may result in a tremendous loss.

The United
States could become chaotic as food and energy prices soar with less than
half the adult population working, increasing numbers of layoffs and unemployed, retirees
becoming broke and the poor left penniless. Supermarket shelves could be empty with deliveries disrupted.

Social unrest
or breakdown may occur.

It is suggested
to move away from cities if possible. As people become desperate for food
and fuel, more of them may turn to crime and violence, and as mass
demonstrations increase, riots and violent competition for scarce goods
could break out.

Many experts
are warning of increased economic and
social chaos
in the next few years, especially in Europe and the United States with the
influx of many refugees, who are unemployed and unaccustomed to their new
society. (This has
already been dramatic in Greece, Spain, Italy and even Germany and England.)

According to
the FBI there are over 33,000 gangs in the United States, with a total of
approximately 1.4 million members. These are in most major cities, with a
lot of rural locations as well. In some cases they control a whole
neighborhood or region.

Some of the
crime organizations are more organized and well hidden than ever. Many have
very sophisticated cover operations, perhaps with covert assistance from
police and various other officials, whether by association, bribe, blackmail or
threat.

As one of the largest foreign holders of U.S. debt, the Chinese are also
accumulating assets in the United States. They have procured companies,
banks,
buildings and infrastructure. There are rumors that there are enclaves
of Chinese residents being developed -- whole cities of Chinese workers and plants
being established in the U.S.

Insiders have
reported that the mortgage loan fraud has been so extensive that even
mortgages that are thought to be paid off may have claims on them from
multiple lending institutions. A massive unanticipated transfer of property
ownership may be about to take place. It is conceivable that many more
people may face foreclosure and eviction seemingly out of the blue,
including some who are up-to-date on their mortgage payments, but perhaps
making payments to
the wrong institution.

Even worse, are the reports of Russian, Chinese and other U.N. troops being trained and
quartered in the United States. There is speculation that these may be in
place for serving in a martial law occupation of a disoriented and weakened
United States population, post collapse. Is it possible that these
soldiers have been offered the spoils of confiscated property like pirates
of old as reported by some whistleblowers?
